Its not a misgendering. It is a mocking of his reverence to trump and cozying up ahead of the swear-in ceremony. If it pisses him off… it’s his own transphobia to blame. We’re just encouraging him if he’s an egg.
If the point isn’t to misgender him, then call him first gentleman. First lady is misgendering him. It feels justified and extra effective because of his transphobia. But it isn’t about misogyny.
Context matters here. I think the joke is that this gender-swapped picture would really piss off Elon Musk in particular because he’s so openly and proudly transphobic.
Yeah i don’t think i would really like this sort of joke normally. But given he’d rather say his son died to the woke virus than admit he has a trans daughter… fuck elon.
It absolutely is not morally sound, but it clearly feels right to many. We regularly justify these attacks because such people seem to deserve any and all suffering for their values and misdeeds.
Maybe, although I personally don’t get that at all. Then again I’m not exactly a misogynist and do enjoy drag… Maybe I do want to see Elon in legit* drag after all. And I do mean something legit–not the diarrhea of frat bro tropes he’d inevitably lean into.
Can we get a fanfic going about Elon’s secret drag performance addiction instead of ketamine? I’d probably read it, but I’d also be glad it exists.
No, it does something. It conveys that it’s shameful to be feminine.
I think intentionally being misgendered pisses most people off.

Not really, it’s making fun of him for being sexist.
By being sexist.
Yes, in the same way that Family Guy can get away with sexist and racist jokes. They’re making people like that look like clowns.
It’s in the same realm as satire

Context? On the internet? No thank you. I’ve made my snap decision and I’m right.

That’s like saying it’s okay to call someone a fag if they are a homophobe.

That has nothing to do with why we avoid such slurs; they harm people OTHER than whomever you are trying to harm.
That makes sense. I agree.
That’s exactly how Elon thinks which is why the tweet is great.
Musk has previously described himself as an “alpha male”, it will annoy him for sure.
